Hope the "pay per install" thing gets axed...

We have heard you. We apologize for the confusion and angst the runtime fee policy we announced on Tuesday caused. We are listening, talking to our team members, community, customers, and partners, and will be making changes to the policy. We will share an update in a couple of days. Thank you for your honest and critical feedback.

In hindsight, would've had the Cushing's Disease tumour for several years. Living high of self-made / tumour-induced steroids 24/7. To now the opposite of zero.

And the effects of long-term Cushing's Disease on the brain is not good. Things are a challenge more than ever.

[Chris McFarland @ChrisNZL]

Challenging year so far. Psoriatic arthritis + post-op of Cushing's Disease tumour out, to Addison's Disease.

Body no longer creates cortisol, so relying on medicine to keep me afloat. Also needing testosterone medicine.

Coding is hard most days, every day is different.

[Chris McFarland @ChrisNZL]

I am cognitively crippled most days. Fatigue, memory issues, mental burnout, inability to think straight...

Doesn't help as a programmer, let alone emails, or any thought-involving task.

[Chris McFarland @ChrisNZL]

Surgery was successful yesterday. A mass, a little smaller than the size of a golf ball, has been removed. Resting and recovering now; lots of painkillers 😅

[Chris McFarland @ChrisNZL]

Undergoing surgery today to remove a Cushing's Disease tumour off my left adrenal gland.

Hoping for a positive outcome and improvements in the weeks and months ahead. Would like to have cortisol and other hormones be normal again 🙃

[Chris McFarland @ChrisNZL]

@nzgda Laser kiwi.

[Chris McFarland @ChrisNZL]

Still... coding.
Also got diagnosed with a tumour! Life is strange.

Still working towards the Nintendo Switch build, and Kitten Collect-a-thon mode.

[TouchArcade @toucharcade]

With its extensive variety and major roguelike hooks, @Tallowmere 2 from @ChrisNZL is a worthy sequel to the fan-favorite original and it's our pick for Game of the Week: https://t.co/4j3nZ7Air0

[TouchArcade @toucharcade]

The incredibly varied and challenging rogue-like platformer @Tallowmere 2 from @ChrisNZL, sequel to the 2015 original that we enjoyed very much, is hitting iOS and Android next week and it's available for pre-order right now: https://t.co/mLdpDlxqOP by @JaredTA

@ConquisTV @pathofexile Same here, purchased a ticket, credit card transaction happened successfully (can see on my bank statement), but then a CloudFlare timeout error when trying to contact https://t.co/7oJ6Sshj7L afterwards.

Hope it will come right once traffic settles down a bit @pathofexile

[Chris McFarland @ChrisNZL]

So many things happening right now, everything's in a queue, ahhhhhh 🙃

[Chris McFarland @ChrisNZL]

@DaveOshry Thanks for helping take it a step further!

[New Zealand Game Developers Association @nzgda]

@pablojamar I'll release the @itchio DRM-free Android version once Apple and Google approve things.

For early testing now, I can invite via Google Play (DM me your Google email address), or iOS TestFlight (DM me any email address).

Yeah, I'm not a fan of IAPs for bottomless money sinks.

[Chris McFarland @ChrisNZL]

Still working to get #Tallowmere2 out the door for mobile! So many things involved.
